Synopsis
Written for an organic chemistry laboratory course, this second edition has been revised and updated. It presents standard laboratory techniques for courses in which the actual organic laboratory experiments are provided by the instructor or in which students work independently. The text includes a discussion of related theoretical material for each technique and safety notes throughout. Each chapter ends with a set of study problems that emphasize both the theoretical and practical aspects of each technique.

About the Author
Patty Feist received his Ph.D. in counseling from the University of Kansas. Dr. Feist and co-author Linda Brannon are both professors in the department of Psychology at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where they have been teaching since receiving their doctorates. After becoming interested in the emerging field of health psychology, Feist and Brannon co-authored the first edition of this text in the 1980s, and they have enjoyed expanding and developing their text along with the field for more than two decades. In addition to his work in health psychology, Dr. Feist has co-authored a text on personality with his son Greg.
